The Officers and the whole Board of INTECOL are delighted to learn that Professor R. Eugene Turner, a member of the Board of INTECOL and the Professor of the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, the Louisiana State University, has been awarded the LSU 2005 Distinguished Research Master in Engineering, Science & Technology.

It is very nice for us to know that all his very hard work and dedication to INTECOL, both as Chair of the very successful Wetlands Working Group and as Treasurer of INTECOL over the years, for which we are extremely grateful, has not been too much of a handicap in his research. We extend our warmest congratulations to him on this honour.
